Christine Quinn’s estranged husband, Christian Richard, has filed a request to have a court modify the temporary restraining order against him so he can address alleged water damage at his property.
According to court documents obtained by Page Six on Wednesday, the former Cisco software engineer, whose legal name is Christian Dumontet, is asking the court to lift the order that grants the “Selling Sunset” alum exclusive access to their Hollywood Hills, Calif., marital home because he received “a utility bill in excess of $10,000.”
The documents, filed on Tuesday, state that Richard has been facing “daily criminal fines from the Los Angeles Vector Control since July 18, 2024, for the abandonment and lack of upkeep to the property.”
The father of one claims he has incurred “thousands of dollars” in fines and has been unable to resolve the issue because he is prohibited from going near the property due to Quinn’s restraining order.
Richard, who shares a 3-year-old son, Christian Jr., with Quinn, asserts that his legal team tried to contact Quinn’s representation to address the issue but received no response.
“Mr. Dumontet owns the property alone, as separate property, there is no marital interest in the property, and no funds were co-mingled during the duration of the marriage to have converted the property to community property,” the documents state.
“It is clear that Ms. Quinn is not maintaining the property as the marital home, nor the familial home for the child. Ms. Quinn does not reside at the property nor has she maintained it since at least July of this year.”
In addition, Richard is also seeking reimbursement for “$29,000 in rental value per month for the home” as well as the expensive Hermés bags he purchased for Quinn during their four-year marriage.
“Mr. Dumontet also seeks CP reimbursement for the various Hermes bags that were purchased with his separate property ‘as investment items’ at the behest of your client,” reads an email from Richard’s attorney, Alexandra Kazarian.
